Mr. Speaker, the only thing coming clear here is that the government has our civil service caught up in its web of contradictions.
In 2010, DND wrote to Public Works saying that the F-35 is the only option. Public Works agreed. Yet, both departments came before committee yesterday saying that they were still analyzing their options. No decision has been made yet. However, the chief of the air staff contradicted both departments. He is fixed on the F-35.
Is the government misleading the chief of the air staff, or is it misleading Canadians?
